OK, I hadn't been thinking about dataflow or graphical languages, or
(for that matter) languages like Prolog. (It would probably even be hard
to categorize what's an "output" of a Prolog statement.) But yes, now
that you mention it, there's a number of languages probably as popular
as FORTH that do this. (I expect I'd class LOTOS, which is kind of a
calculus of rendezvous, as maybe returning multiple values as well.)
Thanks for correcting me!
